Better Than Expected

Sadley, i rarely find the time to write a review but i had to share that this "barn door" hardware is awesome! I bought for closet door at my cabin. I was hesitant on the disclosed plastic wheels but you really can't tell and they roll very smooth. I read reviews about mounting a back board for the track, so planned for this in advance, but i would agree that without it, it would be difficult to line up with studs yet have enough room for door to utilize most of track. I made my door from scratch so i actually mounted the track first then cut my door boards to size after cautiously measuring the hardware length several times for the right overhang. Perhaps i should have assembled the door then mount the hardware before then cutting door to the right size, but regardless, i did get it right and size was perfect. Overall, not very difficult but just took extra time for my first install to ensure all was done right.One thing to be sure of is making sure your track is spot-on level. The wheels roll very well with barely any friction so even the slightest tilt will cause door to move out of desired resting position. Mine was level or at least the level bubble within the bars but still just enough off to cause a very slight tilt. My solution is going to somehow add some friction to wheel or friction to top of track. No biggie though.Package came very nice and secure with no damage. Came with extra long bolts for doors that may be thicker too. The smaller bolts for mine worked perfect. I didn't add floor guide yet and not sure if I really need or want it.
